The only requirement is that you don't change the copyright notice,
disclaimer and list of conditions.

In other words, you may change the about box, but you must keep the
original license.

You may be able to replace that text in the about box, but it seems to me that
you have to display it as is somewhere in your binary.

Hi all,

 

I have VB application which has been used from network share. I want to protect this app but don't want to register from every client because of too many clients. I want to register it on server and do nothing from clients (client license and number is not so important)

 

Any ideas?

Hi Kirk

You must use the register method, where the Liberation Key is the
parameter.

I tried your KeyGenerator, and it seems that the on I made generates
equal LiberationKeys. What I missed was the possibility to determine
the lenght of the Key printed back. As I see it when using your
KeyGenerator the users have to only use part of the Key, adjusted to
the lenght used in their ActiveLock protected software reading from
the left.

Thanks for a great protective software

Your KeyGenerator is very good. The problem with some algorithms is
my fault: the BIGNUM module shouldn't be added to the project, since
all the subs and functions are in the SHA1 module.

Anyway, I created another KeyGenerator -- take a look on the file
that I've posted earlier today (ActiveLock17b.zip).

Finally, I suggest that you continue improving your KeyGenerator,
since the one I included in the zip file is just a sample.

Based on Mr. Nelson Correa de Toledo Ferraz latest posting I tried to
make a Key Generator. It seems to work for some algorithms, but not
all.

Check Files:
KeyGenTest.zip A test for a KeyGenerator.
TestKeyGenSoft.zip A software example to test the KeyGenerator with.

If you got a errorcode using the KeyGen.. Try to remove the file
BIGNUM.BAS from the project.
Hopefully Mr. Nelson him self will make a KeyGenerator..

With regards from

I have generated keys for ActiveLock 1.7, but I can't find the
property in which to put the Liberation Key. (The old Liberation key
Property is no longer)

Where do I put it?

Is there a way to give us a sample af the KeyGenerator build on the

ActiveLock users are requiring a new KeyGenerator.

To create a new KeyGenerator, we must understand how the keys are
generated.

ActiveLock uses a hash algorithm to generate the keys. A hash algorithm is
a message digest, or a digital "fingerprint" of a string.

We first concatenate the SoftwareCode and the SoftwareName, and then
calculate the hash:

   strKey = Hash(SoftwareCode & mstr_SoftwareName)

Then, we return the first characters of this hash, depending on the
LiberationKeyLength property:

   strKey = UCase(Left(strKey, mi_LiberationKeyLength))

The Hash function requires the MD5, SHA1 and BIGNUM modules.

Hello all,

I couldn't post messages before because of a problem with my Yahoo!
account, but I hope that it's working again.

Here's a contribution from Francois de Wet:

Instead of using strings to determine the hash type, now ActiveLock uses
an Enum:

> Public Enum THastType 'Added 19 Apr 2002 --- Francois de Wet
>     htSHA1AA1 = 0
>     htSHA1AA2 = 1
>     htMD5AA1 = 2
>     htMD5AA2 = 3
>     htMD5AB1 = 4
>     htMD5AB2 = 5
> End Enum

Now, we can replace the following select case:

<   Select Case mstr_HashAlgorithm
<     Case "SHA1AA1Hash": Hash = SHA1AA1Hash(strHashThis)
<     Case "SHA1AA2Hash": Hash = SHA1AA2Hash(strHashThis)
<     Case "MD5AA1Hash":  Hash = MD5AA1Hash(strHashThis)
<     Case "MD5AA2Hash":  Hash = MD5AA2Hash(strHashThis)
<     Case "MD5AB1Hash":  Hash = MD5AB1Hash(strHashThis)
<     Case "MD5AB2Hash":  Hash = MD5AB2Hash(strHashThis)
<     Case Else:          Hash = SHA1AA1Hash(strHashThis) ' Default type

With this one:

>   Select Case mstr_HashAlgorithm 'Changed 19 Apr 2002 --- Francois de Wet
>     Case 0: Hash = SHA1AA1Hash(strHashThis)
>     Case 1: Hash = SHA1AA2Hash(strHashThis)
>     Case 2:  Hash = MD5AA1Hash(strHashThis)
>     Case 3:  Hash = MD5AA2Hash(strHashThis)
>     Case 4:  Hash = MD5AB1Hash(strHashThis)
>     Case 5:  Hash = MD5AB2Hash(strHashThis)
>     Case Else: Hash = SHA1AA1Hash(strHashThis) ' Default type

Well, there are more changes than that. I'm sending a diff file attached,
it shows exactly where the code was changed.

I'll post a new ActiveLock version as soon as possible.

Hi there.

I'm a user from version 1.5 and that version has a Code Generator for
the liberationKey. Version 1.6 and the last 1.7 did not came with a
tool. Now i hope that there is a tool for the 1.7. I downt like to
use the web tool.

HiHi

Hmmm.. anyone know

1. how to create a liberation key.. I can't use the v1.5
keygenerator unless I have a password, and there is no password
property anymore in v1.7

2. Is there an equivalent to the password property to enable us to
use the old keygenerator, or do we have to write our own code to
create a key.. errr. if the latter, how?

3. What is the Salt property used for.

Thanks
Geoff

Just compiled the .ocx and had a look.. Couldn't do it before as I
was at work.  Anyway, I'm impressed that we can now choose what the
activelock ties to eg. HD, windows serial, etc.

I too would love to see a bit of documentation on what some of the
new properties etc do

This has got to be the single best .ocx i've ever come across.  I
was just about to release a program that had v1.5 in it.. now i'm
going to have to add v1.7 instead.  I was always concerned about
locking the code to the HD and/or serial as I didn't want to be
having to keep re-issuing liberation keys everytime someone upgraded
their machine.. now I can have some control over it.

Regards
Geoff

Looks to have more features (especially HD locking).  Great stuff!
How do we get the release codes???  Hopefully via a CodeGen program
and not the web?!?

Had a copy of version 1.5 did not use it much ( as did not realse
much softwaer that need protection) but was impressed with it.
Version 1.7 does seem to have changed a great deal and would love a
simple help file of tutorial to help me get to grips with it. Great
pice of software canot believe you give it away for free and with
source code as well.

In ActiveLock 1.5 there was a codegenerator and helpfile included.
In 1.6 it was not the case.
Will there be a codegenerator included in 1.7? And maybe also a
explanation of variables and properties.

I just had a brief look at the files, and made a *.ocx.
As I could see, there was a lot of new features. I notice a about
form too, will this show up in software where ActiveLock 1.7 is used?



Thanks
Mads

Not exactly sure what is new....

I would like to see a sort of help manual or at least a description of all
properties and methods of the control.

Maybe I missed a file somewhere ?

Hi,

Apart from having the source which is great, I was just wondering
what's new in v1.7.

BTW.. I'm just curious how the algorithm works to create a software
code etc..  Does it use the HD volume serial # etc..

This is a brilliant component btw.

Thanks
